Starting the 29th of July, 2013, fifteen of us from Product Design, Undergraduate 7th Semester, stepped into the realm of Systems Design; the final project of our academic curriculum.
We started off by simple brainstorming for topics that we could take up.

What followed was a very interesting mapping exercise, tweaked to make it simple enough for newbies like us. So, for our first mapping, we needed no Google, nor any extensive library research. It had everything to do with 'I, me and myself'.
It had everything from pretty looking, well thought of maps to cluttered, confused, personalized or even completely detached ones. Well, we were learning.
So, we moved ahead, with no clue of where this would take us 9 weeks later.
The next bit was a very interesting, not to forget with a minute to minute strict schedule, workshop on 'Wicked Problems'. So, we reported sharp at 9:18 one Friday morning and registered our names in.
In return for registering, we got an enlightening talk defining what 'Wicked Problems' are (I'll try and make it short and simple here: They're crazy, complicated problems in which neither the problem nor the solution is clear) along with a whole bunch of stationery to get to work!
So much for now. More updates soon. :)
